Happy Presidents' Day! The magnifying glass on the
commander-in-chief has allowed us much insight into the dietary
habits of our presidents over the years. For instance, there's Bush
Sr.'s hatred of broccoli, LBJ's love of Fresca,
Obama's chili recipe and Reagan's obsession with jelly beans
(even the much-maligned licorice ones). In honor of Presidents'
Day, here are a handful of links on presidents and dining.

David Faries of
The Dallas Observer conducts a fictional foodcentric
interview with former presidents.

And for your viewing edification, Bill Clinton (played by the
late Phil Hartman) takes a few moments to mingle with the people at
McDonald's near the White House on Saturday Night Live.
INTERCEPTED. WARLORDS!
